Using outlines of ten geodiversity-related topics plus some related studies, this paper argues
that geodiversity has contributed to many new insights, new avenues of research and new …

Proglacial areas represent the counterpart of glacial retreat, where a new environmental
equilibrium will be reached. During this long and complex stage, which represents the …

Background The central thesis of plant ecology is that climate determines the global
distribution of vegetation. Within a vegetation type, however, finer‐scale environmental …

Pedometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical methods to the study of the
distribution and genesis of soils, has broadened its scope over the past two decades. The …

Spatial patterns in surface soil moisture during dry and wet weather conditions have been
recorded over a 3.68 ha gully catchment in central Spain. During dry weather conditions this …

The impact of watershed comprehensive management (WCM) on per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) pollution in rapidly urbanizing areas remains unclear. In a typical rapidly …

Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the
variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology and hydrology, is seen as the …

Geodiversity is a rather new, emerging topic in earth science. There is now increased
awareness of our need to understand patterns of geodiversity in different landscapes facing …

Geomorphic systems are typically nonlinear, owing largely to their threshold-dominated
nature (but due to other factors as well). Nonlinear geomorphic systems may exhibit complex …

The “perfect storm” metaphor describes the improbable coincidence of several different
forces or factors to produce an unusual outcome. The perfect landscape is conceptualized …
